David,
The overall appearence had that sickley look to it compared to the other one which was from the same nursery. The foliage wasn't the same bright green as you would expect at that time of the year. The first picture above doesn't show the weak appearence that you would've have seen in person. Also, my experience working with junipers at the time was very little, and I didn't know whether I would have what it took to keep it healthy.
The tree and I came through it alright though, and we're both happy.
